Why are majority of games 1 sided ?

How does the matching work ? I'm seeing that majority of games, 1 team has players with lower win rates, loose streaks whilst the other one has much higher win rates and people on win streaks, with maybe 100-200 higher mmr than the other team.. Doesn't seem too balanced to me, tbf.

The matchmaking algorithm has to be really poorly engineered to be the complete garbage it is, but probably the biggest problem is that in order to speed up queue times with a declining pool of available players it needs to settle for blatantly unfair matches just to get games going.

its 100% matchmaking. It is designed to have one team with a higher mmr than the other instead of trying to make it fair.

My current match has 1 team, 4/5 people under 50% win rate and 2nd team 5/5 with above 50% win rate. This is just laughable..

They aren't. People are just stupid, throw games or shit the bed early, then come here to complain instead of learn from their mistakes.

Either because one side is playing to the meta and the other refuses to, or one side doesn't understand the current meta. Most games are still decided in champ select.

Because Riot has not clue how to make a Balanced game

People can't play from behind anymore. The mentality isn't there. Plus all the snow bally BS riot has added to the game makes it harder as well

Well, it is Riot after all. They're probably more focused on champions than on balanced systems and the opinions of the League community.

The current meta favors hard stomp champs. As such, it is quite likely to have one team hard stomp the other. All these supposed, "Rito fix your shit" and "Algorithms are shit" are just complaints because people can't understand how to end games quickly or hard stomp.
